From Scott Pitoniak: Some quick takes on Mike Hopkins taking the University of Washington head coaching job. * It indicates to me that Hop no longer was the designated head-coach-in-waiting at SU, that the succession plans had changed under new athletics director John Wildhack, who is friends with Jim Boeheim. * Boeheim is one of those guys who will have an extremely difficult time adjusting to life after coaching, which is why these legacy coaches don't want to retire. Coaching is their oxygen. They can't live without it. So, he wants to continue coaching beyond this year, and probably had that conversation with Wildhack. * Hopkins was a loyal assistant and solid recruiter. But it's a whole different universe when you slide over to the head coaching seat. I don't know if he'll succeed or not. I've covered many good assistants who became mediocre head coaches through the years. * It will be interesting to see if Syracuse rebounds from this disappointing season next year. The Orange men have to hope that Tyler Lydon and Battle come back, Thompson takes some big steps forward and their incoming freshmen can have an impact, particularly at point guard. Should SU experience another season like this one, the natives in Orange Nation will grow even more restless, and will raise questions about Boeheim's age, etc.

Or to write a descriptive headline, apparently. Sheesh...

I love the nickname the announcer at the end of the clip gave him, "Andre the Giant." I think we should let that stick here in Buffalo.

Mods should lock this topic. These click bait posts are ruining the esthetics of TSW.

One of my favs and maybe the most important figure in early rock-n-roll. RIP Chuck http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/7728700/chuck-berry-dead

I hope he is as good for us as he was the first time we signed him.

It's got to be Cousineau (Google him if you're under 40). He was #1 overall and never played a down for the Bills. Can you imagine that happening today with TSW, Twitter and FB? The entire front office would be fired on the spot.

One more time I will tell you to download modbro on the firestick. No local news, unless you're in NYC, but all of the networks and top cable channels in real time.

I guess it's true when they say that green beer will make you see nothing but sunshine.

Lehner is 0 for 8 in shootouts this year, so Nilsson had him on the first save.

Don't know if anyone stayed up to watch it, but the Sabres broke their losing streak with a very entertaining shoot-out win that went 10 shooters on each side. Risto scored as filthy of a goal as you'd want to see to keep the Sabres alive before Girgenso s won it for the blue and gold. Nilsson was stellar between the pipes. Nice win to end the California road trip.

As someone that grew up reading Marvel Comics "What If?" series, I really enjoyed this. Thanks for the post.

Winning bid $8,000, not too shabby. http://www.tmz.com/2017/03/17/buffalo-bills-locker-room-pool-table-auction/

He is a poster here who has demonstrated, on multiple occasions, that he has a direct pipeline into the inner workings of OBD.

Fedun has landed in California and will join the Sabres for tonight's game.

Now this is funny, I don't care who you are. Del Reid‏ Verified account @DelReid 12m ago Hearing #Bills will have their former WR Andre Holmes in for a visit today.

I was at a show around 1987 or so that was Dylan, the Dead and Tom Petty. It was on the 4th of July and it was a very cold, rainy day. At one point, when Petty played, they linked up live to the Farm Aid concert that was happening at the same time. After the show, I was waiting to cross Abbot Rd and a totally stoned Dead Head stood up on a guardrail and said, "Hey man, on the way home everybody look through a red balloon." Lol

I've become a bit of an expert on cord cutting and fire stick or android boxes. Download Mobdro and then go under channels. You will have hundreds of channels from all over the world. Most major US cable channels, plus HBO and a couple of adult channels. All free. No local channels, but national NBC, CBS, ABC and Fox. Under the sports section you will get ESPN, Fox and NBC sports as well as (for hockey fans) TSN and SportsNet Ontario. For local I use an antenna. Oh, and for live sports make sure you have SportsDevil on Kodi.

I'm thinking of starting a "Holmes was a great signing" thread. Will one of you kind gentlemen take a quick look and make sure we don't have any of those yet? Sheesh... Here's a tip for the refugees: If you see a story on the web about the Bills that is more than two minutes old, one of our prolific posters (26CornerBlitz, YOLO, etc) have already created a thread about it and your thoughts on the subject should go there.

Accepted. You're a great poster and I enjoy your comments and insights always.

I believe that he was responding to H2O, not you. I don't want to hijack this thread away from it's original intent of talking about a WR, but I would like to side with you about the casual use of the "R" word on this board. My son is autistic and I see the struggles he, and we as his family, deal with daily. I wouldn't want anyone dismissing him with a callous word. I guess some people haven't experienced having a loved one with developmental delays, but please know that that word is hateful. The English language is full of other colorful options that can make the same point without offending whole segments of the population.

Holmes just tweeted that he hasn't signed with Bills.

I like this signing. He was buried in Oakland, should be a great red zone target.

Here's a good look at what players are excelling and are expected to be chosen at the top of the draft. Nolan Patrick has held the top spot all year despite being injured, but the kid from Switzerland has gained some ground. http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/juniors/sportsnets-2017-nhl-draft-prospect-rankings-january/
